Frost Mage DPS Macros and Addons — Midnight Season 1
On this page, you will find a number of useful macros and addons to make your life easier when playing your Frost Mage in World of Warcraft — Midnight Season 1.

Macros
Generic Macros for Mages
Stopcast Blink
Instant Blink
Pressing
Blink will now cancel your current spellcast and
causes you to immediately Blink. Note that this should not be used with
Shimmer as it will unnecessarily cancel your current cast, nor should
it be used if you are casting something that you can wait to finish casting
before needing to Blink
1-Button Block
1-Button Ice Block
Cancels your current cast and immediately puts you in
Ice Block.
Pressing Ice Block again will cancel the effect. Not recommended if you spam your
buttons.
Block Cancel
Cancel Aura Ice Block
If you are a button spammer, you can put this on a separate keybind as your
Ice Block, allowing you to cancel your Ice Block early if you so
desire.
Alter Time Cancel
Cancel Aura Alter Time
You can use the above macro to cancel
Alter Time if you do not want to
be teleported back to the location/health where you were when you initially cast
Alter Time.
Mouseover Decurse
Mouseover Remove Curse
This will remove curses on whatever unit you are mousing over. You can replace
Remove Curse for any other spells you might want to do on mouseover,
like
Spellsteal.
Specific Macros for Frost Mages
Blizzard on Cursor
This will automatically place
Blizzard at your mouse cursor when
pressed, without having to actually click the ground. It should be noted that
the cursor condition can be applied to any ground target effect, as seen in
the
Freeze macro below.
Water Elemental
Freeze on Cursor
This macro will let you put the
Freeze ability of your Water
Elemental on your action bar, and have it cast instantly at your cursor
location rather than having to click.
These macros allow you to manage your Water Elemental's movement and attacks.
Pet Attack
This orders your Water Elemental to attack your target.
Pet Follow
This orders your Water Elemental to follow you.
Move-to
This orders your Water Elemental to move to a location of your choice. Moving your Water Elemental to a central location can be very helpful, as the Water Elemental sometimes stands very far away from the boss and wastes time chasing the boss if the boss moves.
Addons
As of Midnight, addons have been severely restricted from reading anything combat-related. However, there are still a handful of very useful addons, and more will be created as developers figure out ways to navigate the current restrictions. This list will be populated with suggestions as the season goes on and the author finalizes his UI.
TargetedSpells
TargetedSpells
is a warning when something is aiming a spell at you. Generally this will allow
you to know when to hit
Ice Cold or
Ice Barrier in the chaos of
a trash pull in Mythic+. As a Mage in the world of pruned defensives, this is
likely going to be the single greatest asset to you.
ArcUI
ArcUI is an addon that revamps the cooldown manager in a way that gives you a bit more control than the default. It does have a fair amount of complexity, and some bugs as it is a new addon. However, it does do what I wanted in terms of a cooldown manager skinner, so it has earned a place on this list. What follows is an import string that will give you what I personally use.
